Capacitors in Series and Parallel

But capacitors take only AC voltage DC damages them.. so how can it take DC voltage?

Dear God the piano in the background

I feel like I was just zapped by an alien mothership with the knowledge of the universe

I thought capacitors block DC voltage, how does the second capacitor in series get charged?

Excellent explanation!

Oh wow -- what a beautiful explanation. Really nailing that elusive intuition for me. Thanks a million.

Great videos, helps me a lot. But I'm thinking 3 equal capacitors in series are the same as 1 of those alone. Because 1 of them would then store the same amount as those 3 combined and have the same voltage as those 3 combined. Making it functionally the same. C.equivalent=3/(1/C + 1/C + 1/C)=C. But calculating the individual Q in each capacitor would give the same result. Just 3 in series splits the total Q evenly among themselves. Thoughts?

Sad that the beautiful music is reduced to background fluff, but great educational content.

Rapaz... Muito esclarecedor

you are awesome!

Why doesn't the order matter when capacitors are in series? I would have thought the capacitance of the very first capacitor affects how much charge can be passed to the subsequent resistors

Really amazing explanation 👏👏

визуализация красивая но объяснение более чем сомнительное.

Hello professor
Thank you so much for your interesting information and excellent courses. I really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity.
All the best.

lt helps me thanks alot😏

Thanks for the video. It really helped me visualize how these work. Capacitors have been giving me a little bit of a tough time. 👍

In parallel the capacitance is additive. Just the opposite of resistors.

Wooooooooooooooooooow

Now I easily understand thru your presentation. Thsnk you. More power !!

Snappy visual as usual. Great help in understanding the capacitors. If I may put my 2 cents into the piggy bank :
a.) We do not give an understanding of what happens if the capacitor plate square is the same but its thickness is increased. One might think that if the material is thicker then more electrons are present and therefore it's better to get thicker than getting more square in increasing capacitance.
b.) (That is something to think about) Instead of a special material between two plates we can actually put a thin paper with coil on it and power it from the same line therefore putting a small electromagnet between two plates. The question to think for a student : why it's not used to increase capacitance
c.) And that one is very much missed from this visualization: a capacitor and electromagnetic waves. The capacitor is the system in which there are moments when both positively and negatively charged particles move towards each other like in a dipole therefore creating a kink wave and apparently emitting an electromagnetic wave into space. The opposite is true - an antenna. A remarkable thing is that for a short period of time when capacitor is charged it's actually emitting a visible light. And that by charging and discharging the capacitor we can have all kind of frequencies for an electromagnetic wave, and that would be a great help in understanding the waves and antennas later.
d.) It's better to model consecutive capacitor capacitance loss from the electron point of view than from the voltage. The voltage is more difficult.
e.) capacitor and AC is missing so...

we have large areas of uncertainty after viewing this and most of it we have in electromagnetic wave sector and AC

Thank you for this video, I always wondered why capacitors behaved opposite to resistors, when placed in series and parallel. I was only given the equations in school.

What if the capacitors in series go from bigger to smaller instead of all the same size? Will the same effect happen?

Love the electronics videos

Here from ETPhysics
Thank you for this video. It clarified a simple concept with the visualization and a new perspective to examine the problem.

The bgm is annoying

Nice info, thanks :)

Dear Eugene, the first 2 minutes after watching, I still do not get it why capacitors in series become smaller.

This is an awesome tool to teach capacitors to my IB physics students, thank you so much !!

So there is a buildup of voltage on one side of the capacitor? Or is the conductor heating up and warping? Not sure what the upward movement and arrows are representing.

👍👍

Can anyone tell me the background music name pls ?

This time we live in is really great as we have various views and concepts so everyone can find the one which helps with understanding. Having the electronics in high school this explanation is really confusing for me but I'm glad that other ppl get better understanding.

so good for understanding ❤

This is on another level🔥🔥🔥

You don't know unknown( the creator of these videos) saving my life in the last phase of my entrance exams ...
Your dedication is highly appreciated 👏

I am sorry, music plus a robotic voice is not for me.

The visual explanation of caps in series is an eye opener! Bless this channel!

Why is the 10s time period necessary? I feel like if there was no time period, the larger capacitor would charge up to a larger voltage than the smaller capacitor. Is it because capacitors are usually charged up for a specific amount of time and that is used as the convention when comparing capacitors?

Sorry, it wasn't clear

Somebody really can understand this?

Gay music

How current and voltage flow one to another capacitors
Please explain

Cap-ish?
